3 Camp Flaming Arrow Hits the Spot

CAMP FLAMING ARROW HITS THE SPOT

营地的火焰之箭正中要害

There are certain things a camp has to have. The first thing is counselors. The people who run camps are called counselors. They make all the decisions and they are prepared for any-thing. Plus, everyone has to do what they say. "Counselor Ivy," said Bean. She saluted. "Counselor Bean," said Ivy. She saluted, too. Bean put the ring of duct tape on her arm. If you had duct tape, you were prepared for anything. "Okay, now let's make some decisions. The first thing we have to decide is the name." "Okay," said Ivy. "What do you want to call it?" "Something good," said Bean. "Right." "Something cool," Bean said. "Right. Cool," agreed Ivy. "And something kind of tough-sounding," Bean went on. "Something that will make people wish they went to our camp. Like Camp Flaming Arrow." Flaming arrows were totally

有些东西是一个营地必须有的。 首先是辅导员。 经营夏令营的人被称为辅导员。 他们做所有的决定，他们为任何事情做好了准备。 再说，每个人都得说到做到。 “艾薇辅导员，”比恩说。 她赞扬。“比恩顾问，”艾薇说。 她也敬了个礼。比恩在她胳膊上绑了一圈管道胶带。 如果你有管道胶带，你就能应对一切。 “好吧，现在让我们做一些决定。 我们首先要决定的是名字。” “好吧，”艾薇说。“你想叫它什么？”“好东西，”比恩说。 “对的。”“一些很酷的东西，”比恩说。 “正确。真酷，”艾薇同意道。 “还有一些听起来很强硬的东西，”比恩继续说。 “一些会让人们希望去我们营地的东西。 比如火焰箭营。”燃烧的箭完全

cool and tough. Bean had seen them in a movie. They shot through the air and whatever they hit burned to a crisp. "Or Camp Neanderthal," said Ivy dreamily. "Neanderthals are cool and tough." Bean had never heard of Neanderthals, so Ivy explained that they were long-gone cave people who were maybe short and stumpy, but definitely brave. They clubbed saber-toothed tigers over the head, they were so brave. Bean had to agree: Neanderthals were pretty cool. They were just as cool as flaming arrows. How could they choose between them? "Eenie-meenie," Ivy suggested. So they eenie-meenied, and when flaming arrows won, Ivy didn't even mind very much, because Camp Flaming Arrow was such a great name. Who wouldn't want to be in Camp Flaming Arrow? Another reason Ivy didn't mind very much about eenie-meenie was that she had her own great idea right afterward. It was about the tent. They needed a tent. No tent, no camp. But unfortunately, neither Ivy nor Bean had a tent

又酷又硬。比恩在电影里见过他们。 他们在空中射击，击中的东西都烧成了脆片。 “或者是尼安德特人营地，”艾薇梦幻般地说。 “尼安德特人又酷又强悍。” 比恩从未听说过尼安德特人，所以艾薇解释说，他们是早已消失的洞穴人，可能又矮又粗，但绝对勇敢。 他们用棍棒击打剑齿虎的头部，他们是如此勇敢。 比恩不得不同意：尼安德特人相当酷。 他们就像燃烧的箭一样酷。 他们如何在他们之间做出选择呢？ “嗯嗯嗯，”艾薇建议道。 所以他们互相叫骂，当火焰之箭获胜时，艾薇甚至都不怎么介意，因为火焰之箭营是个好名字。 谁不想加入火焰箭营呢？ 另一个艾薇不太介意“小咪咪”的原因是，她很快就有了自己的好主意。 是关于帐篷的事。他们需要一个帐篷。 没有帐篷，没有营地。但不幸的是，艾薇和比恩都没有帐篷

handy. Where could they get one? For a few minutes, they were stumped. Then Ivy got her great idea. "Hey!" she said and jumped to her feet. "My mom got new curtains!" She began to run toward her house. Bean didn't think that was very exciting. But, as she found out when Ivy came back, the new curtains were not the exciting part. The exciting part was the old curtains. Ivy had fished them out of the garbage, four long white pieces of cloth, perfect for tent-making. She and Bean laid the cloth out on the grass and duct- taped the tops of the curtains together to make one superwide piece of white cloth. Ta-DA! Now

方便。他们到哪里去找呢？ 有几分钟，他们被难住了。 然后艾薇有了一个好主意。 “嘿！”她说着跳了起来。 “我妈妈买了新窗帘！”她开始朝自己的家跑去。 比恩不觉得这很刺激。 但是，当艾薇回来时，她发现新窗帘并不是最令人兴奋的部分。 最令人兴奋的是旧窗帘。 艾薇从垃圾堆里捞出来的，四块白色的长布，最适合做帐篷了。 她和比恩把布铺在草地上，用胶带把窗帘的顶部粘在一起，做成了一块超宽的白布。 哈!现在

they had a tent. "All we have to do is throw it over that branch and Camp Flaming Arrow can begin," said Ivy, pointing to the plum tree. "No," said Bean. "Camp Flaming Arrow isn't here." Ivy looked confused. "Then where is it?" "Monkey Park," said Bean firmly. "Real camps are at Monkey Park." Bean's mom said okay. In her backpack, Bean placed a safety pin, a Santa hat with a beard attached to it, and a wolf mask left over from Halloween. She carried a big sign that said Camp Flaming Arrow in her hands, so it wouldn't get crumpled. Presto! She was ready for camp. Ivy's mom said okay. Ivy got the tent into her backpack, but there wasn't much room for anything else. She slipped in a few Band-Aids. Better safe than sorry, just like teachers always said. At the last minute, she jammed in her

他们有一个帐篷。“我们所要做的就是把它扔到那根树枝上，然后火焰箭营就可以开始了。”艾薇指着那棵梅树说。 “不，”比恩说。“这里没有火焰箭营。” 艾薇看起来很困惑。“那它在哪儿？”“猴子公园，”比恩坚定地说。 “真正的营地在猴子公园。” 比恩的妈妈说可以。在她的背包里，比恩放了一个安全别针，一顶挂着胡子的圣诞老人帽子，还有一个万圣节剩下的狼面具。 她手里拿着一个写着“烈焰箭营”的大牌子，以免被弄皱。 您看!她准备去露营。 艾薇的妈妈说可以。艾薇把帐篷装进了背包，但已经没有多少地方放别的东西了。 她塞进了一些创可贴。 安全总比后悔好，就像老师常说的那样。 在最后一刻，她挤了进去

magnifying glass as well. She was ready for camp. "BYE!" they screeched to their mothers. At the edge of the park, they stopped. "Whoa, Nellie," Bean said. Monkey Park was bursting with kids. On the big flat field, there were two soccer games going on, with another pack of kids jumping up and down on the side.

还有放大镜。她准备去露营。 “再见！”他们尖叫着对妈妈说。 在公园边上，他们停了下来。 “哇，内莉，”比恩说。 猴子公园挤满了孩子。 在宽阔平坦的场地上，有两场足球赛正在进行，另一群孩子在场地上跳上跳下。
